:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

Listening to boomers whine about the texture and taste of tofu is the most infuriating thing, especially when it's prepared really well. I had an absolutely lovely salt & pepper tofu from a Chinese place that was crispy on the outside but silken on the inside with an incredible taste. Mixed with rice and it was divine. When I offered my mom a bite she spit it out like a child and complained the whole time.
Same here lmao. My mom hates tofu. So I made a very tasty tofu dish without telling her it was tofu. She loved it.
I told her it was tofu. She said it as awful.
:agony-shivering:
That's next level :brainworms:. To retroactively decide "the thing I just enjoyed was bad actually" is really something
Ikr…
These people are mental children
My dad watched Bizarre Foods back when that was on the air, and there was an episode with "chinese stinky hairy tofu" which is just fermented tofu. To this day, anytime tofu is near him he is compelled to bring up the phrase "stinky hairy tofu" and refuses to ever try it. Actual child behavior.
Does he like cheese? That's just "Anglo stinky moldy milk". Like, I don't doubt the actual fermented tofu has an acquired taste to it,but that is so obviously not regular tofu. People complain tofu has no taste, not that it tastes putrid!
lol thats the thing too! We have some Alaskan and some Scandinavian heritage so fermented seafoods aren't uncommon, and hes a big fan of limburger, the go-to stinky cheese. Its just the cognitive dissonance of "tofu=nasty" or whatever and he's unwilling to even try to change.
